Boogaloo is a genre that combines the best elements of black soul music with Latin American dance rhythms, and it found its strongest following in New York City. However, the genre also thrived in various pockets around the world during the 1960s and 1970s. One such outpost was the island of Guadeloupe, a French department in the Caribbean. While many of these artists on this compilation released by Born Bad Records may be unfamiliar to me, their music is infectious and makes you want to get up and dance.
